This freaking nut case really does need help!!!! And the poor guy - lucky he wasn't home, otherwise it would've probably have been a homicide. Clearly, she's a desperate, troubled and sick individual. I agree with the person below... lock the psycho up and throw away the key!!!!!

The poor woman needs help. Get her some, a nice room with 24 hr a day supervision.

The tactical unit was more than likely dispatch as a matter of procedure because of weapons involved. The story does lack some information, Like what was she shotting at? Did she shoot at the police? I guess no one was hit?

This was not a "stand off" as the media called it. When the police were in contact with the woman she came out peacefully. The media showed up after the fact.
